PHILOSOPHY

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed since 2004. I was kinda unable to host for years as I was living in a 9m² room. I'd like to host more now, maybe help organizing some CS events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a place named the Cracktory in San Francisco when I was 18, good times. I don't expect much from CSers, but I'm amazed every time.

Also, I have this thumb rule: meeting a couchsurfer twice in two different countries makes him/her a friend for life.

兴趣

Materials science, it's tangible science, pushing technological limits to give solid answers to everyday problems. I can talk about it for hours, just ask.

Science in general, I'm kind of a geek, I become annoying sometime, just tell me to shut up.

Well, music is very important to me, it uses about 24% of my brain time. I play the guitar and the bass. My influences are diverse, but I'm kinda stuck in time between 1967 and 1976... I've been known to own an extensive collection of music DVDs. It started after my hard-drive crashed 12 years ago.

Board-games.

Cybernetics.

Also, terraforming.

音乐、电影和书籍

Films: Dr. Mabuse, Vertigo, The Deer Hunter, Dr. Strangelove, Barry Lyndon, The Godfather II, Last Days, Mulholland Drive, Almost Famous, Taxi Driver, Days of Heaven, Stranger Than Paradise, Into the Wild, Lost in Translation, obscure French films, etc.

I also have a thing for dystopian, uchronian and anticipation genres.

Music: recently I've been stuck on ambient/neo-classical music such as Eluvium, Ólafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm, Windy and Carl, Stars of the Lid, Apparat, Steve Reich, Brian Eno, Max Richter... but also classics like Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Jane's Addiction, Elliott Smith, Pearl Jam, Rancid, Tool, Duke Ellington, Television, Roy Harper, My Bloody Valentine, Metric, Velvet Underground, Silversun Pickups, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. Really, anything from Coltrane to Morbid Angel. Someone said I like "edgy" music.

Books: I tend to read 5 times more non-fiction books than novels but a few of my favorites authors are Chuck Klosterman, John Steinbeck, George Orwell, Nick Hornby, Stefan Zweig, Brett Easton Ellis, Michel Houellebecq, Virginie Despentes... also anything SF/anticipation.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I do amazing stuff everyday at the lab. Science baby!

教，学，和分享

I can teach you how to play cheesy classic rock songs. I can also teach you some history while guiding you through Paris.

I try to learn on a daily basis, so please teach me something. :)

I can share with you my knowledge of the Parisian public transport system, and my music collection.
